This month, I'm gonna post the 2025 albums that really hit for me. Not best-of, more of a "my year in tunes" thing.

First up: Tahulla S/T. A sludgy, melodic post-metal deal - apparently they rock out in Vega Baja Del Segura. Acequia is a good starting point.

For any tape enjoyers out there, I recommend the dehors and Persica 3 cassettes. If you are a record lover, Tricky Floors by Tombouctou is excellent, and a steal at 12 euros.

Hey, to celebrate the 4 worst months in terms of sales in the whole history of HB, here's an offer 😅

You can buy 2 cassettes (click on "Include a message" to let me know which ones) and I will add 2 more (surprise!) for free in the parcel.

1/2 Hey. Need some fundraising help/amplification for this. The FurKids Animal Rescue Van was one of the vehicles involved in the horrific I-85 crash that killed several people. The cats all survived. Two are currently missing in the area. Several cats are still being treated for injuries at UGA

Was off Bluesky last weekend and forgot to post, I saw Slugg, Alan Madej, Corissa Bragg, and the Christian Suburbanites play at the Zephyr Pub in Kent. Arms and Armour also played, but I was too lazy to take a picture.

Our latest preprint on medRxiv: Identifying counterfeit medications using a $4 optical sensor meant for use in toy robots. 🧪💊🤖

www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Our prototype Disintegration Fingerprinting apparatus. (A) A servo drops a single pill into a water-filled cup atop a magnetic stirrer. The pill begins to disintegrate into particles (B), and an infrared optical sensor on the side of the cup detects the light reflected by individual particles as they pass the sensor (C). As the particles disintegrate and dissolve further, the number of particles detected changes (D). A plot of peak count vs. time (E) serves as a “Disintegration Fingerprint” for this pill.
